Hi, like topic name says, it is possible to make a forcing change password every X days?

Yes, it is most possible.

How to?

You could add a new column in the players table of your database called something like "passchange" containing the date of expiration. Now you would update that field every time someone changes the password, to X days forward. Then what you would need to do is to create an if statement checking if the current date is the same or higher than the "passchange" date. If it is, you would present a password change form to the user which he may not pass until the password is changed. Might also want to store the previous password or a boolean value to make sure the password was actually changed.

I can get the idea, but I don't know how to do it... I just know a little of java, and it isn't the same as PHP xD
